30 Illustrator Pattern Brushes for Making Flowers and Circular Designs

In a previous post I talked about using a pattern brush in Illustrator for a fast way to get perfectly spaced, intricate circular designs. Well, I have a set of 30 Pattern brushes for you to use for that same purpose. Remember that these brushes are intended to be used for circular designs, so results on other shapes may vary. If you want to know how to make a pattern brush, read the previous post. Download and Installation instructions below.

These Illustrator brushes are designed to be used to create shapes such as flowers, easily and quickly. As you experiment, don't forget to play with stroke size, and even brush options. (double click on the brush itself in the brushes palette.) Below you will find a screenshot of the shapes that make up the brushes, as well a few examples of the shapes you can achieve with this brush set.
